Quick Answers & Overview

Summer Camp At-A-Glance

Essential facts, daily schedules, age tracks, and policies parents ask most about LearnToBot Summer Camps in Greater Houston.

What are the hours and daily schedule for camp?

LearnToBot Summer Camps run Monday through Friday with flexible options: Half-Day Morning (9:30 AM – 12:30 PM, drop-off from 9:15 AM), Half-Day Afternoon (1:30 PM – 4:30 PM, drop-off from 1:15 PM), Full-Day (9:30 AM – 4:30 PM), and Extended Care (8:30 AM – 5:30 PM).

Structured daily progression includes morning circuit labs, sensor coding, lunch breaks, and robotics challenges.

What are the age brackets and skill tracks for summer camp?

LearnToBot Summer Camps serve kids ages 5–14 divided into two dedicated skill tracks: Junior Inventors (ages 5–7) and Master Roboticists (ages 8–14), maintaining a strict 8:1 student-to-coach ratio.

Beginners start with intuitive visual block logic while experienced students build autonomous rovers with typed code.

What robotics kits and programming languages do kids use?

Campers build with LEGO SPIKE Prime and VEX IQ robotics kits, Arduino microcontrollers, and real sensors, coding in Scratch for block logic and Python for typed robotics commands.

We use genuine breadboard electronics and microcontrollers rather than closed plastic toy snap-kits.

How much does summer camp cost and how do I register?

Tuition ranges from $299 for half-day to $549 for full-day 1-week sessions (all robot kits included), with automatic multi-week savings and sibling discounts (code CAMPSIBLING) available during online registration.

Select your preferred Greater Houston location and week on our live schedule grid to reserve your spot instantly.

What are LearnToBot's cancellation, refund, and transfer policies?

We offer 100% risk-free flexibility: full tuition refunds are issued for cancellations with 14+ days advance notice, and families can transfer camp weeks or locations at any time with zero fee.

Emergency credits and flexible schedule swaps ensure complete peace of mind if family plans change.

What are the extended care hours, snack, and lunch guidelines?

Extended care runs 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM for $10/day per child; full-day campers bring a nut-free lunch and water bottle, while all campers receive designated morning and afternoon snack breaks in peanut-free spaces.

Simply request extended care after booking your camp session; all locations enforce strict allergy safety.

Kits & Languages

What robotics kits and programming languages do kids use?

Students at LearnToBot Summer Camps work directly with LEGO SPIKE Prime, VEX IQ robotics, Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, sensors, motors, and real circuitry — coding in Scratch and Python rather than playing with locked toy kits:

  • LEGO SPIKE Prime & VEX IQ competitive robotics platforms
  • Scratch visual block logic and real typed Python syntax
  • Arduino microcontrollers, breadboard circuitry, and ultrasonic sensors

This isn’t a "camp activity." It’s early engineering exposure.

Daily Hours & Schedule

What are the hours and daily schedule for camp?

LearnToBot Summer Camps run Monday through Friday with flexible options: Half-Day Morning (9:30 AM–12:30 PM), Half-Day Afternoon (1:30 PM–4:30 PM), Full-Day (9:30 AM–4:30 PM), and Extended Care (8:30 AM–5:30 PM). On Day 1, an engineer assesses your child to find their exact baseline. With a strict 8:1 student-to-coach ratio, campers move fast from wiring to coding and take home the robot they built.

Daily Schedule & Drop-off Hours

Half-Day Morning: 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM (drop-off from 9:15 AM)

Half-Day Afternoon: 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM (drop-off from 1:15 PM)

Full-Day Camp: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM (bring nut-free lunch & water)

Extended Care: 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM ($10/day early drop & late pick)

DAY 1

Skill Placement & Foundations

An engineer assesses your child's experience and places them on a custom track so they are challenged, but never lost. They start with microcontrollers (Arduinos, LEGO SPIKE, VEX IQ) and breadboard circuits catered to their skill level.

DAYS 2-3

Sensors, Code & Complex Systems

We start with single sensors and scale up to multi-sensor circuits and autonomous logic in Scratch or Python. Campers write code to control actuators, ultrasonic detectors, and motors.

DAY 4

The Final Robot Build Starts

After completing foundational mini-projects, campers assemble and program their main capstone robot build.

DAY 5

Competition, Demo & Keep The Robot

Wire it. Code it. Debug it. Campers showcase their autonomous creations in friendly challenges and take their machine home to keep.

Keep What You Build

What do kids build during LearnToBot summer camp? Real robots they take home.

Yes, every camper at LearnToBot builds, wires, and programs a custom robotic machine that they keep and take home on Friday to continue coding and modifying all summer.

Not a foam loaner. Not a "demonstration kit" that goes back in the bin Friday. The microcontrollers, the sensors, the motors, the chassis — your kid wired it, debugged it, named it, and now it's theirs to keep, modify, and rebuild on the kitchen table all summer.
